Questionnaire for Tea Party

Dear Tea Party members,

In an effort to better understand the sentiments of your group and see where we, in the peace movement, might find common ground, we would appreciate it if you would answer a few questions. Thank you for your time.

o The Cold War has been over for 20 years, yet we maintain 800-plus bases around the world and have troops stationed in 148 countries at a cost of over $100 billion/year. Should we begin to dismantle this global web of bases?

o Every taxpayer has already spent, on average, $7,367 for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (http://www.costofwar.com). Now Obama plans to send another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, with a price tag of one million dollars per soldier per year. Do you think Congress should stop funding the wars and bring out troops home?

o Israel, a wealthy country, gets $3 billion a year from Uncle Sam with no strings attached and no accountability. The second largest recipient is the autocratic government of Egypt. Should Congress cut the foreign aid budget by cutting funds to Israel and Egypt?

O Private security contractors in war zones make way higher salaries than US soldiers and with little accountability, undermining our reputation overseas. Should we phase out private security contractors in war zones and return those jobs to the U.S. military?

o Experts on the left and the right say we could cut our military budget by 25%, including closing foreign bases, winding down the wars, and ending obsolete weapons systems, without jeopardizing our security. Do you agree?

o If we could make significant cuts to the military budget, how should those funds be reallocated? To pay down the debt? Increase security at home? Rebuild our infrastructure? Stimulate the economy through tax breaks?

o Do you think people on the left and right of the political spectrum can work together to trim the bloated Pentagon budget?

If you are willing to be a part of a continued dialogue on this issue, please give us your name, email and/or phone. Thank you.

so you would prefer to fight wars on our own soil rather than Afghanistan? Have you forgotten 9-11? You women are crazy! I'll agree with you that we have too many bases and could probably shut a few down. It is my belief that we need to increase funding to the CIA and seek out terrorist operatives on their own soil prior to attacking the US. You are naive if you believe that there aren't people plotting to do harm against us right now.

Similar to what Jon Attebury said, I would rather we fight these terrorist on this turf not ours. Here's an article by an esteemed Afghan about why we should maintain our troop presence in Afghanistan. "Why Afghanistan?" by Shir Mohammad KarimiHere's the link:

Naive blog? Ney, you're not not aware of US foreign policy. Several years ago I writing a white paper for a think tank, an economic argument for the US to stop funding the Indonesian military (genocide and stuff like that).

I finished it, on 10th September 2001. 36 hours later I watched in horror as the second plane hit - every person interested in foreign policy understood that 911 was the new GREEN LIGHT for another fifty years of US funded colonization and slaughter in the Asia Pacific.

The war for you, ended sixty five years ago - - WHY will you Americans not leave us alone! You've already taken most of the gold and oil, just leave us alone and stop funding your Islamic friends killing our people.

Yes, we absolutely should trim down our foreign budget - Egypt and Israel included. The funds saved should be used to provide health care and assistance to unemployed citizens. Too many people are suffering in our own country. They should be helped first.

I am proud of the tea party movement. It is freedom of speech and the right to protest that I thought liberals loved. Or is that only when you are protesting a war or Bush. Okay...Bush is gone get over it. Lets judge what is going on in the United States by who is in charge. Actually Tea Party Members or most people in middle America where I live...want smaller government. But, I can only speak for me. I don't want our troops in any other countries. I think we should stay out of anyone's business. We should put all our troops that are overseas at the U.S. border and take care of all the drug cartels and keep the border safe. But, we do need some troops in other countries stationed to keep the peace not to control them but to protect our financial interests.We need to keep commerce going. It maybe selfish, or it maybe for the greater good. It is not like All the things you are talking about are new or only happened under a conservative president.Honestly I am not in love with Bush or anyone in government. Bush set up a lot of crap I don't like that Obama takes advantage of. Bush was not a conservative president.I think the tea party members want to get back to WE THE PEOPLE there is a reasons it is in such big font on the constitution. "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Thomas Jefferson
